I would definitely say this is worth looking into - not necessarily

I have opened a bug for it, but it got closed immediately because I have
no evidence to support it. lol :P

AFAIR Jer is only a wrangler (ok, "only" is not the right word, but you
know what I mean) so he's likely not going to get into too much detail
about the specifics of the bug wrt fglrx, ati, etc. You'd have better
luck talking to a dev who deals with fglrx or the kernel, and convincing
them to look at it.
I know it can be frustrating to have bugs marked as INVALID, but saying
"your justification for marking this as INVALID is actually the invalid
thing here ... not my bug report" is probably going to get you ignored!
I'm not disagreeing with you here, but I do think you will have a hard
time getting hard evidence it's specifically the fglrx driver, and not
some effect the fglrx driver is having on your hw...
